INTRODUCTION 



& pre paring these lessons in character reading, I have held 



to the idea that a technical study of Palmistry, Graphology, 
Physiognomy, Phrenology, etc., would tend to confuse, rather 
than enlighten, the student who desires a quick method of read- 
ing human nature. 

This system has been prepared for those who wish to read 
the characters and lives of people they desire to influence : to 
know at a glance the weak and strong characteristics of "Your 
man" : to be forestalled with a knowledge of the secret habits, 
temperaments and lives of those with whom you come in con- 
tact. 

If you are able to read character or human nature scien- 
tifically, you will' have a decided advantage in dealing with 
humanity. You will be able to tell if people are honest or dis- 
honest; what they are best fitted for in life and if they would 
be adapted to an association with you, either in a business or 
social way. 

It is thorough an understanding of these principles and the 
proper processes of influencing people that has enabled men 
like Morgan, Rockefeller, Gould and other millionaires to suc- 
ceed, where others have failed. 

"MAN, KNOW THYSELF," "is the motto for the race !" 
The mind of man can best be studied through the action of the 
physical manifestation of the body ; its habits and actions. 
Man cannot hide his characteristics from the eyes of those who 
know the secret workings of the "inner man." 

Only the broad, quick, practical methods of reading the 

'"'"-- of die "inner man" are given. 

my thoughts ; I might have spread them out into

LESSON L* 

Process of Conv.&yi.hg- iniclfeg^nces. 

What an intricate piece of 'mechanism is created man, in the 
essential functions of his organism. Coming into the world in 
weakness, he enters at once upon a process of development. 

No step from the cradle to the grave is known to him until 
he is compelled to battle with resistant forces, but through 
every moment on the stormy sea of life, there must be within 
him a somthing that guides and directs his progress. 

The corporeal existence is ever before us, and we strive to 
understand it, and posssibly are very thoroughly educated in 
all its necessities ; but the psychic part of us — the vast mys- 
terious chamber of the mind — the great storehouse that con- 
tains the full armament of our power is hidden behind an al- 
most impenetrable veil of mystery. 

The mind is like a great electric battery; we cannot see its 
workings, but it moves the man. 

If the mind is educated and enlightened, it moves him in the 
right direction. If the mind is narrow- and bigoted, just so 
sure will the man retrograde. 

Intelligence, obviously, is a powerful force, and is used con- 
sciously and unconsciously in the influencing of man. The 
greater the intelligence, the more powerful the influence one 
mind will have over another. 

Innumerable processes are employed in the conveying of in- 
telligences from one mind to another; one mind, owing to its 



hy pel sensitiveness leceives and records more Incoming cur- 
rents than the coarse and undeveloped mind. 

Manifestations of this intelligence, and the power to use it, 
begin with the infant, when through its own feeble process it 
conveys to the mind of the mother the fact that it needs atten- 
tion and nourishment. Then begins the development of many 
processes of influencing the mother and those about the child, 
and as he becomes schooled in systems of conveying his in- 
telligences the more sensitive he becomes to the intelligences 
conveyed by others. 

An intelligence can be conveyed from one mind to another 
by many processes; a thought, a look, a gesture, or a word, 
and oftentimes we unconsciously influence people by our secret 
mental attitude, which undoubtedly produces effects of which 
we have no cognizance, i. e., Telepathy. 

We should ever be on our guard against -influencing those 
about us in the wrong direction through thought force, and 
the intelligences which are conveyed through the other pro- 
cesses, i. e., looks and gestures. 

If we have an object to accomplish with a particular person, 
and it is necessary to appear friendly, in order to gain the de- 
sired end, we must be extremely cautious lest we inadvertently 
convey some intelligence that will make it impossible to ac- 
complish the task. Artificial friendliness used in an effort to 
accomplish the desired end, will often awaken a suspicion; 
therefore, when you are antagonistic toward a certain person, 
and it is policy to assume friendship in order to gain the de- 
sired end of a business transaction, first shut out all thoughts 
of an antagonistic nature and cultivate a true friendliness 
(which can be done), then there will be no danger through 
the harmful intelligences which are unconsciously transmitted 
to the mind of the object of your attention. 

Artificial form, scientific flattery, tact and diplomacy, are 
constituent elements which make success possible in business 
and social affairs. Some persons develop "personal magnet- 
ism" through the continual employment of these principles. 
Many men and women possessing fine educations, can be found 
in obscure positions, when they might be filling prominent 
places in the business and social world. If they could only 
grasp and develop this powerful factor (which can be devel- 
oped) they would force their way from a condition of diffidence 
and obscurity, into that sphere in life to which they rightly 
belong. 

In order to utilize the great force "intelligence" so as to 
gain the greatest possible benefit, study carefully the scientific 
principles of transmitting these intelligences to those about us, 
as outlined in the instruction embracing the use of the Hyp- 
notic Ball. There are a few things to be learned, however, 
concerning practical systems of conveying these intelligences, 
before you can proceed systematically to develop the latent 
forces within you, and use them upon others with telling effe :t. 
First — To grasp a knowledge of the primary laws throu di 
which people are influenced. 

Second— To "know thyself" and others; learn a practical 
system of reading the characters, habits and thoughts of people 
in general, so that you will be able to sum up the total char- 
acteristics of a person in a few minutes. 

Third — Take yourself into the silence and dwell carefu ly 
upon your personal qualifications. If you are qualified for t ie 
position in business or society which you covet, and still are 
held back through lack of "Personal" Magnetism," begin a 
careful study of the application of the formulas outlined in n iy 
courses of instruction, and you will get a new light, that w|ll 
lead you to success before you fully realize it. 

"We live in thoughts, not breaths ; 
He most lives, who thinks most." 



LESSON 2. 
Concentration 

How shall you bring into practical effective action the force 
and wisdom gained through a systematic study of the pro- 
cesses outlined in my courses of instruction? 

Through concentration. First make sure that you have 
concentrated your mind for a few weeks upon the teachings 
of this course. Make sure that you understand the paramount 
principles of influencing people, then concentrate all your 
energies into the application of the same. 

What gives a small piece of dynamite that great force which 
enables it to demolish a huge solid rock ? Focalized force ; 
"Concentration." Focalized steam or electricity has the power 
to move huge masses of material matter, whereas diffused 
steam or electricity is likened unto the diffused energies of the 
"flighty" man; hence, lack of concentration of thought, means 
lack of force and power to sway the minds of others. How 
shall you develop concentration, force and a powerful per- 
sonality? To insure victory, an army must first gather its 
ranks at one place. Therefore, in order to win the things you 
most desire, gather in your thoughts ; focalize and concentrate 
them to the exclusion of everything else upon the object of 
that desire. 

Concentration is not brought about by a spasmodic effort; 
a sudden projection of the mind toward something, or a stren- 
uous and anxious demand for something. Mental force is 
obtained through silence. The thunder roars, and a flock of 
' wild geese make considerable noise, but they do no damage ; 
the lightning, without sound, does marvelous execution. The 
great Mississippi moves in a serene noiseless manner but has 
the power to move millions of tons of matter. Concentration 
is as noiseless as the force of light, but has the power of pene- 
trating through unlimited space, going forth on its mission as 
silently as the sun penetrates the atmosphere. 

Learn to concentrate your thoughts upon one thing to the 
exclusion of everything else. Not spasmodically, but calmly. 
Do not grasp the arms of the chair, shut your teeth down hard 
in an effort to project your thoughts in one direction;. Go into 
the silence of yourself, relax the muscles of your body as well 
as the activity of your mind. There are many ways in which 
one can learn to concentrate the mind. One is to sit in a room 
where other persons are engaged in conversation, and avoid 
listening to any of the words spoken. Another is to gaze at 
a clock and so concentrate your mind upon some person at a 
distance as to shut out the sound of the ticking. If you are 
not able to do this upon first trial, continue to practice until 
you can do so. By persistent practice you will soon be able 
to collect your wandering thoughts and focus them upon any 
given subject or person. 



lake some hum ut the evening when yuu can be alone 
without interruption, and practise faithfully the following ex- 
ercises. Be sure that no part of your clothing is tight, which 
would cause you to be uncomfortable. Any irritation would 
cause a distracting influence and lessen the powers of concen- 
tration. Take a thoroughly comfortable sitting position, relax 
all the muscles of your body, and fix the gaze at some point in 
the lap. Sit perfectly still for a few minutes and imagine you 
see a point of blue light, shutting out every thought but the 
blue light, and, although this will be difficult at first, you will 
soon be able to lengthen the periods of concentration. Keep 
going back to the point when disagreeable thoughts break in 
upon you, and by a systematic effort you will be surprised 
what you will accomplish in two weeks' time. Keep before 
you the thoughts "I will" and you will develop a mental force 
that will penetrate to the ends of the earth without being dif- 
fused. It is this focalized thought-force that enables the great 
minds of the day to accomplish a foreseen end. Concentration 
will give you the power to develop personal magnetism and 
force of character. Go silently on with the perusal of this 
study, and you will develop a power that will enable you to 
sway the minds of those about you. You will unconsciously 
develop a force of character and mind that will, when concen- 
trated upon a particular object or purpose, cause the diffused 
thoughts of others to become as a handful of pins to the mag- 
net. Concentrate !

LESSON 3. 

Studying the Characteristics of Others. 

In order to influence a person into doing as you desire, it is 
essential that you first understand some of his natural char- 
acteristics. First know "your man," then bring into action 
all your concentrated powers of influencing him. You will 
make better headway if you know^ his strong points, and his 
weak characteristics. You will know exactly where and when 
to apply your formulas of suggestion: your powers of per- 
suasion ; the command ; the smile ; the tact and diplomacy ; 
scientific flattery and artificial form. If you have a house to 
sell, or perchance a favor to ask, a heart to win, or a position 
to gain, how much easier it will be to use personal magnetism 
and suggestion, if you are fortified with a knowledge of the 
person's characteristics. 

Some persons can be flattered and, in order to win and hold 
them, scientific flattery must be resorted to. You must know 
if he is one of this class, for if you began flattering him and he 
should be a person who could not be flattered successfully your 
processes would fall short and you would lose. You must first 
study the lessons on "Character Reading" so that you can in 
a few minutes tell the leading characteristics of a person. 

After you get so that you are able to observe a person's 
leading characteristics from an ordinary observation, which 
you can easily learn to do from these lessons, you will be pre" 
pared to go into processes of influencing him.

NATURE'S MARKS. 

The polished villain often fools the shrewdest of men and 
women. A silver tongue with silver tact, is a quality that 
wins, but, nature has stamped her marks in various places on 
the human form, making it an easy matter for one who knows 
the secrets, to distinguish the rogue from the gentleman. 

The nervous system plays an important part in the recording 
of these marks upon the form, head, face, and in the hand- 
writing of an individual. Thoughts manifest themselves 
through the nerves, causing changes in the actions and form 
of an individual that are apparent to one who understands our 
system of reading these signs. These signs show the char- 
acter of the man ; they are a reflection of the soul within and 
cannot be disguised or kept from the eyes of our students. 

This complete system enables you to first "know your man 
well," then to employ the proper method of influencing him. 



THE ELEMENTARY TYPE. 
We will now pick up different types of men as we meet 
them in every day life. We will begin with the elementary 
grade. His occupation is usually that of the laborer; his 
hands are square, and fingers short and thick. If this man 
looks you square in the face when talking to you, has an open 
look and an oval shaped face, temples not too full, you have 
a kind-hearted and honest man to deal with. He is usually 
sensitive, generally feels that the upper classes are against 
him, and that he is being robbed of his rights. You cannot 
educate this man in a day, he is usually dense and obstinate, 
therefore, you must adapt yourself to him, gain his confidence 
and respect, and you can then do business with him success- 
fully. 






LESSON 4. 
How to Read Characters from General Observation. 

We cannot live in this world without of necessity being 
thrown more or less in the society of others. To reap the 
proper advantages from those with whom we come in contact 
we must understand them. T«o do this we must study Char- 
acter. 

Realizing the difference in dispositions and general make-up, 
the idea of studying Character seems on first thought to be a 
formidable task, but on mature reflection we can but reach 
the conclusion, since we have all been created in the image and 
likeness of One, that there must certainly be many general 
characteristics, which we have, that can be easily learned by 
observation and applied in the general walks of life. To live 
harmoniously, even in our own homes, we must understand 
the members of our family; and to be successful in business, 
we must be able to make a correct estimate of "our man." 
You have learned the characteristics of your family by observ- 
ing everything they do and say, then observation must be the 
gateway to the character of others. 

Many people go through the world with their eyes closed, 
practically speaking; such people cannot, in this "up-to-date" 
age, hope to succeed in anything. Remember, the lessons that 
follow will be of no value without you train yourself to observe 
everything and every one with whom you are thrown. After 
a little practice you will begin to do unconsciously what was 
at first a great effort, and will soon be repaid for your pains. 

Let nothing escape your observation, for the way a man 
handles his hands or his feet may be of importance to you 
later on. We have many types or grades of men, running 
from the elementary or lowest type of intelligence up to the 
philosopher or highest grades, but each one of them have cer- 
tain qualities in common. As our first lesson, I will say, re- 
member suspicion is always coupled with ignorance ; that rea- 
son is a companion for intellect. The ignorant man must be 
handled in such a way as not to arouse his suspicions ; in other 
words, you must first gain his confidence ; this of course is well 
with all men, but more particularly applies to those who are 
incapable of reasoning or without sufficient knowledge to be 
able to investigate for themselves. 



THE OPEN, FRANK AND HONEST TYPE. 

The man who saunters along in a leisurely way, his hat 
usually set a little too far back on his head, eyes that are open 
and frank and look you steadily in the face, hands carried 
open, sometimes partly in pockets, you will find honest — not 
suspicious would not do anything underhanded or look for 
any one else to, is free with his money and quick with his sym- 
pathy. He is of fair intelligence, but does not read much 
beyond the newspapers, consequently is not very deep. He is 
chatty and will not do to trust with a secret for he could not 
keep one for himself, at the same time he would never fully 
forgive you for "violating a confidence." In dealing with 
such a man you could always win your point through his sym- 
pathies. 



* * * 



THE CAUTIOUS TYPE. 

The man with frank open face, steady eye, who steps quickly 
and firmly, who has hands that are inclined to be long and 
carries them partially closed, has a square jaw, forehead rea- 
sonably high and broad, is both honest and just, possesses de- 
termination and caution, is reasonable and considerate. If 
you want to succeed here you must have a proposition that is 
worthy of consideration, one that is reasonable, and be able to 
present it intelligibly. This man is usually patient and will 
listen to you attentively, weighing carefully all you say, but 
will think the matter over before he gives a "yes" or "no." It 
wil not do to attempt to rush him, for in that case his caution 
will develop into suspicion and you will then have a hard task 
to handle him. Take time in dealing with this type; always 
keep before him a plan by which he thinks he will be able to 
gain something through you. 



DISHONEST CHARACTERISTICS. 

The man who walks with an uncertain step, sometimes long, 
again short, sometimes heavy, again light, whose arms and 
hands are carried as if he was trying to keep off some unfor- 
seen danger, whose eyes are ever on the alert no matter how 
deeply he is interested in a conversation ; looks at everything 
except you, and whose greatest desire seems to get away, out 
of sight: In this case you have an inherent dishonesty, a lack 
of courage and a man who is without principles, in fact in this 
character you would find all the traits of the petty thief, some- 
times, however, they do not steal from sheer cowardice. To 
deal with this man you have but to assent, whatever your 
wishes, in a positive manner and watch him till you have ob- 
tained what you want ; remember you cannot trust him no 
matter what his promises may be — you must stay with him in 
any transaction to the end of the deal, get his decision at once. 

* ■ * * 

THE RAPID THINKER. 

The nervous, impatient man is easily recognized by his rest- 
lessness, his quick replies, the pacing up and down while talk- 
ing to you, interrupting you in the middle of a sentence, or 
continually tapping his foot, or when his legs are crossed 
shaking his foot, etc. Any one who observes will readily 
recognize him. When speaking to him, speak just loud 
enough to be heard by him (a low soft voice never fails to 
soothe the nerves) and be as brief as possible — do not go any 
further into details than is absolutely necessary, for this man 
analyzes as you go and details annoy him and you cannot keep 
his attention. He grasps a subject in its entirety and gets 
what he wants of details afterwards. If this man happens to 
be busy take as little of his time as possible. If he wants to 
keep you, he will do so. If he does not, you only spoil your 
chances with him by trying to keep him. When calling on 
this type, first assure him that you have only a few minutes to 
stay, that you are in a hurry. 

* * * 

THE CONCEITED STUBBORN TYPE. 

We have another type that is not uncommon, whom every- 
one knows better than he knows himself, that is the pompous, 
conceited individual who is entirely satisfied with his own per- 
fection and couldn't (if he wanted to) see why anyone else 
would make a change in him. This man can only be ap- 
proached by flattery, if it is dealt out in a disguised form; if 
he is in the lower walks of life, the thicker it is spread on the 
more it will be appreciated. Any point can be gained with 
this man if you find out how to distribute your honeyed words 
of praise. This person is changeable. Finish your business 
with him on the spot. 



LESSON 5. 

Study Human Nature. 

From the types given above the student who observes closely 
will soon be able to gather many more which space keeps me 
from enumerating. To succeed, you must adapt yourself to 
others. You cannot make the world what you want it. but by 
careful training, you can make yourself what you will, and by 
falling in line with the ideas of those around you, it will be 
an easy matter to win your way. 

Many men and women hide their true character under the 
disguise of artificial form, and it would not be possible for a 
stranger to read them, so carefully do they hide their qualities 
from the world. But at home, where most people cast aside 
the polished form, the true characteristics manifest themselves. 
It is a decided advantage to one who has a secret knowledge 
of reading the characters of others, for if we carefully observe 
some of the tell-tale actions, we get an inside track, which 
knowledge cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, as it 
points out the weak and strong points of those we meet, and 
often keeps us from making errors in our dealings with hu- 
manity. 

If you know some of the secret characteristics of a person, 
you can handle him to a great advantage, and when you under- 
stand the laws of suggestion, and the processes of influencing 
people you will win a greater percentage of the battles in life. 

The following pointers from a popular paper, by an emin^"*- 
writer, will be found useful. You should be careful how 
sharpen a lead pencil, as it openly tells your character to an) 
one who may be familiar with this theory. You should also 
observe with care anyone who is in the act of sharpening a 
pencil and note the manner in which it is done. Sometimes 
you can hand a person a pencil and ask him to kindly sharpen 
it. 

\s "The man who holds the point toward him and close up 
against his shirt front is slow and likes to have secrets. He is 
the kind of man who, when his best girl finds out there are 
"others" and asks him who they are and what he means by 
calling on them, will assume an air of exceeding dignity and 
put her off with some evasive answer which says quite plainly, 
"Yes, I called ; but it's none of your business who she is or 
why I did it." A woman with a jealous disposition should 
look out for the man who sharpens his pencil in this manner 
and shun him. 

The man who holds the pencil out and whittles away, care- 
less of results, is an impulsive fellow, jolly, good-natured and 
generous. 

He who leaves a blunt point is dull and plodding, and will 
never amount to much. He is really a good-hearted fellow, 
and hasn't an enemy in the world. He finds his chief pleasure 
in the common-place things of life. 

On the other hand, he who sharpens his pencil an inch or 
more from the point, is high strung and imaginative and sub- 
ject to exuberant flights of fancy. He will always be seeking 
to mount upward and accomplish things in the higher region^ 
of business and arts, and his wife's greatest trouble will be to 
hold him down to earth and prevent his flying on a tangent. 



The man who sharpens his pencil all round smoothly and 
evenly as though it were planed off in an automatic sharpener 
is systematic and slow to anger. But he is so very undeviating 
from a fixed principle that he would drive a woman with a 
sensitive temperament to distraction in less than six months. 

He who leaves the sharpened wood as jagged as saw teeth 
round the top has a nasty temper and will want to quarrel on 
the slightest provocation. There are certain women who can 
manage that sort of man beautifully, though, and if he gets a 
wife with a calm, persuasive eye he will in a few minutes be 
as meek as a lamb. 

The man who doesn't stop to polish the point of lead once 
the wood is cut away, has a streak of coarseness in his nature. 
He who shaves off the lead till the point is like a needle is re- 
fined, delicate and sensitive." 

After you have seen a person sharpen a pencil you learn 
something about him. and he is not aware of it. It will be a 
guide to you in handling him, no matter what your associa- 
tions may be. It is not advisable that you tell him what you 
have learned of his hidden character, whether it be good or 
bad, unless you wish to comment favorably upon the manner 
in which he sharpens a pencil. 

The following hints from a leading paper on the characters 
of women, will be useful to both sexes. 

"In choosing a wife, let her be a woman whose lips do not 
droop at the corners. This is the advice of a wise man of 
Persia. If a woman's lips droop, her husband's life will be a 
perpetual mourning time. Nor yet should they curve too 
much upward, for that denotes frivolity. 

Beware of the under lip that rolls outward, for that woman 
has no great conscience. Select for a wife she whose lips are 
straight, not thin, for then she is a shrew, but with just the 
fullness necessary to perfect symmetry. 

A mouth with the upper lip curved, lower lip straight, full 
and well defined, and a depression underneath, shows a high 
artistic sense, a love of ease and beauty, a fine moral nature, 
and a certain coldness of temperament. If the chin is firm 
and rounded, that bespeaks determination and physical 
strength. 

The mouth of sagacity is large and always well closed. 
The line of the lip is firmly defined, and a certain tightness 
about the jaws, when in repose, is noticeable. 

If a mouth is long and thin, with the lines between the lips 
clear cut and firm, the woman is selfish, morbid and dominat- 
ing. It is the mouth that desires to rule everything, and its 
owner will ride to an end, no matter over how many bodies. 

The short upper lip with a depression under the nose and 
the inclination upward at the corners is the merry mouth. 

If the corners dimple deeply as they turn upward, the lips 
are quick in repartee. Love of ridicule will be strong, but not 
in a malicious vein. 

Unusually red lips denote cruelty and rapacity. Cleopatra 
had such lips. 



LESSON 6. 
Diffenent Types of Humanity* 




Fig. i. 

"Organic Quality is the Primal Index to the Character." 

"All organs correspond with the functions, so that from 
having either we can always predicate the other. 

"Certain forms accompany and indicate certain qualities. 
For this reason shape is the great base of all scientific clas- 
sification. Given configurations and attributes always go to- 
gether. Whenever we find either, we then and there find the 
other also married to it. How is this ? True, of all things." 

In figure one (see cut) we have a low type of intelligence. 
The forehead recedes and the lines around the eyes, nose and 
mouth have a drooping appearance. This type is found 
mostly among the laboring class. 

The formation of the head shows a lack of brain growth. 
A coarse grained organism will manifest itself in many ways. 
The hair, the skin, the bones and general appearance is coarse. 
In determining the character of a person, the first thing to 
notice is the texture of the skin. If the skin is soft, clean and 
of a delicate, velvety texture, it signifies that the person is 
sensitive, emotional and susceptible. The finer the texture of 
the skin, the finer the feelings. The same in man. 

A fine, soft, velvety, sensitive texture of skin indicates a 
brain and mentality of the same qualitv. Likewise, a coarse 
grained skin, denotes the reverse. 






The Muscular Motive Temperament* 



Vital Temperament* 







No. 2. 



In cut No. 2, we have the muscular motive temperament. 
Usually large framed, large bones, muscular and athletic, more 
lean than fat, having high cheek bones, strongly marked 
countenance, great muscular power, a tough or strong consti- 
tution. These people have great powers of endurance ; would 
make good soldiers, officers and fighters, especially if the nose 
is slightly Roman. 

These men have many talents and can adapt themselves to 
most any profession. 

Homely features usually denote power of mind and char- 
acter as well as power of muscle. Handsome men are seldom 
talented. A pretty man is usually more proud of his body 
.than his intellect. You can gain your "point" through com- 
menting on the fine appearance of a handsome man, but this 
would be dangerous with a homely man. 




No. 3. 

The vital temperament (see cut 3) indicates a lack of men', 
and physical activity. Exceptionally stout people rarely make 
a mark in the world. They should cultivate a desire to do 
more brain and body work. These persons are usually fond 
of literary pursuits ; fond of the good things in life and usually 
take good care that their stomachs are well taken care of. 
They can best be influenced through things physical. They 
are generally good-natured and fond of jokes. If you wish 
to make a favorable impression be jolly and always ready with 
a good joke. It is a well known fact that these people are 
often influenced into giving a decision, right after a hearty 
laugh, for which they are afterwards sorry. 

In fact, if you get any person laughing heartily and then 
suddenly ask him to do a certain thing; a favor, and press 
him hard for an answer, you are more liable to get a favorable 
answer. 



QUICK NOTES ON FEATURES. 

Important Pointers on Features 



The Purely Motive Temperament, 




Cut No. 4. 

Tri cut No. 4 Ave have the purely motive temperament. Head 
rather long, with high straight forehead and overshadowing 
eyebrows. This type is usually crafty, tactful, diplomatic and 
shrewd. These men and women are gigantic schemers, plan 
away ahead and have great foresight. They possess a great 
amount of personal magnetism, force of character, and de- 
termination to succeed. In dealing with this class you should 
always be brief. Try to display talent in any direction. They 
admire talents and have no patience with dull minds. If you 
can lead these people to believe that they can make money 
through you, they will, of necessity do many things that will 
benefit you. Always be careful of your personal appearance 
and see that you are neat and tidy when in the presence of the 
motive temperament.
